Wyatt was one of the top merchandise sellers of WWE since he turned into ‘The Fiend’. Many critics and fans appreciated his character’s work. 

Also, there were a few creative backlashes reported between Mr. McMahon and Wyatt. However, they didn’t seem that serious about the WWE Chairman releasing Wyatt.

Hardy also stated how they both had weird relationships with different duality. Further, the ‘Mattitude’ said that when Mr. McMahon liked or loved Wyatt, he would be all about him. But when he disliked Bray Wyatt, it was terrible and he would punish or insult ‘The Eater of the Worlds’.

WWE wanted Jeff Hardy’s Willow character in the company

It is no secret that Vince McMahon is protective of the WWE assets. He does not like it when former WWE superstars using any part of their previous company gimmicks in other promotions. Matt Hardy also talked about how there were plans about ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy and ‘Willow The Wisp’ Jeff Hardy to join ‘The Fiend’.

“They said, ‘what if we did something now where Bray is doing something as a Fiend and people are trying to stop him and then all of the sudden there’s an appearance of a very hardcore Matt Hardy that shows up and then like this Willow the Wisp that or hardcore Jeff Hardy shows up,” said Matt Hardy.

Moreover, he opined, “Then they like squash these guys out and run them off or whatever and save the Fiend, but they are very serious characters.”

It is very unlikely for WWE to show interest in other promotions’ gimmicks. However, there are some characters the Chairman of WWE knows that will make significant money. And that is why he has given a green signal for them on WWE TV.
